New mail ballot record expected for King Co.

More than 400,000 ballots have already been returned to King County Elections, and officials expect about 720,000 people to ultimately vote.

That would represent 68 percent of registered voters.

“This would set a new record for mail voting in King County. The previous record was set in the 2008 presidential election with nearly 650,000 mail ballots returned,” King County Elections said in a statement.
